Description Fedora QA Tools SIG 2026-01-21 21:58:39 UTC
Server boot x86_64 image https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/compose/rawhide/Fedora-Rawhide-20260121.n.1/compose/Server/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Server-netinst-x86_64-Rawhide-20260121.n.1.iso from compose Fedora-Rawhide-20260121.n.1 is 1211918336 bytes, exceeding the maximum size 1200000000. Canonical maximum sizes can be found at https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/releases/f44/spins/ and https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/releases/f44/blocking/ . This check is run by the 'relval' tool, which has its own list of maximum sizes derived from those pages. If the maximum size used for this comparison is wrong, please add a comment and file a bug against relval at https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/relval/issues and it will be corrected. If you believe the canonical maximum size for an image should be changed, please follow the appropriate process before filing a relval bug.

Comment 9 Adam Williamson 2026-03-13 01:27:56 UTC
I looked into this on the Everything x86_64 bug. Can't really find much to grasp. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2431863#c9

Server is slightly bigger than Everything because it includes qemu packages via some conditional deps in containers-common-extra:

Requires: (qemu-user-static-aarch64 if fedora-release-identity-server)
Requires: (qemu-user-static-arm if fedora-release-identity-server)
Requires: (qemu-user-static-x86 if fedora-release-identity-server)

But that's not new and it's not a huge difference. (We could probably strip them in lorax templates, but there's a plan to move the builds off lorax anyway, so...meh...)

The size limit bump is approved and merged and I've updated the metadata. Closing this, hopefully it should not get re-opened.
